It shows the Yamaha at 1.75% and the Lite-On at 14%! Ouch.
| I can't seem to find the figures you are quoting. The only drive that got 1.75% for CPU utilization is the LG GCE-8400B in the first test. In that same test the lite on got 0.95% CPU usage, which is better than the Yamaha's 1.07%.
Then in the second test, it does appear that the Lite-on uses more CPU than the yamaha, by about twice. But look at the performance! The seek times of the Yamaha are not acceptable for a new drive. And the Lite-on is going ~5x faster which would use a little more CPU anyway.
Looking just at those test results, I would find myself most inclined to buy the Asus - great performance and low CPU usage. But seeing how I already own the 48125w (equivelent of Visiontek 48x in that test) I think I'll just stick with that.
